Sarah Silverman, Michael Cera, Tim & Eric, Reggie Watts and a monkey are adding a bit more humor to The Second Annual Ugly Sweater Fundraising Campaign by duking it out to see who can don the ugliest sweaters they can find to earn a victory (and your donation).
The person (or mammal) with the most in donations sent to their unique text code will win the competition (and braging rights). Fans have up to December 31st to donate $10 at 40202 (for Sarah Silverman, text Sarah; for Tim & Eric, text Tim&Eric, for Michael Cera, text Michael, for Reggie, text Reggie, for the Goat text Goat, and for the Monkey, text Monkey).
And don't be fooled. While all the donations will benefit cancer research, this is anything but a friendly competition where everyone walks away happy.
"If I don't beat out the monkey in getting donations, it's time to fire my agents," said Sarah Silverman. "I've always been a fan of ugly sweaters, but Stand Up To Cancer's really allowed me to embrace the holiday tradition in a big way and I'm happy to be supporting their cause and helping them continue to fund groundbreaking cancer research."
All proceeds raised through the Ugly Sweater Campaign will go directly to funding SU2C's groundbreaking research. SU2C enables collaboration among leading scientists and doctors in the cancer research community, focused on getting new therapies to patients quickly.
